Finally got to sit my lanky 6'5" frame into an RV-12 today. I am finding the canopy when shut a little close to my head. Does anyone know if I can buy a
factory covered seat pad from the mfg of the seat for a Van's RV-12 with high density foam that's perhaps only 2.5 to 3" thick instead of the factory 5 to 6" thickness.
Color is tan brown. I'd try to contact the factory, but they will be closed until after New Years.
Is such a thing available, or since it's not my airplane, buy a seat from a lawn chair or patio furniture, instead, for head clearance, and notch out for the seat belt latch and stick.
Trying to get a ride a long to see if I fit to see if I can even take flight school for a Sport Pilot license in such a plane.
Van's if you are reading this... Dutch people are tall people. I drive German cars because even in the small ones ( I actually own a 2015 VW e-Golf too) I am able to fit comfortably in them. I'd like to fit comfortably in a Dutch designed airplane too, a Van's RV-12.
Suggestions welcome.
